Reverse-Flash Debuts in the New 52 in February

He's coming back. But is it the Reverse Flash we already know?

Things are really heating up in the pages of THE FLASH. He recently had to deal with the entire Rogues and is fighting an invasion from Gorilla Grodd. To make things worse, Barry Allen will soon be facing Reverse-Flash once again. It all begins in THE FLASH #17.

Who will this Reverse-Flash be? We'll have to wait. The actual story won't begin until May's issue #20. Manapul will be taking a two-month break. Buccellato has mentioned on Twitter he will still be writing and his two-issue arc will feature the Trickster and the unconfirmed plan is for Marcio Takara to do the art.

It was also mentioned that Barry and Bart Allen would be meeting during this arc. We'll have to see what the reaction is from both and how come it's taken this long for them to meet.

This is exciting! The last Reverse Flash was erased from history during Flashpoint so will be good to see who the new one is, im hoping for Wally West. That way he can be a Magneto-esq hero, not evil but just extreme in his cause, probably wont be though.

My question to Wally West fans who have been asking about him this past year, if he is the reverse flash what are your thoughts? Instant rage or cautious optimism that you'd actually get your character back? Given the new character introduced recently, Daniel West i want to say i think wally is gone for good and DC is creating an all new nephew for iris who might wind up becoming a speedster in the aftermath of the gorilla invasion.

After thinking about it, they Most likely will make it Daniel west. Which would be great if they made Daniel west Wally's father, make Wally a teen superhero. Then him and Barry would have that connection of fathers spending their childhood in jail and Wally and Barry team to take down Daniel. There's a lot of opinions but I guarantee, the man behind the reverse flash mask will be a west

I would love it if it were Wally West, that would be such an awesome twist on an old character that would set him apart from Barry. Now if only they made the "Last Amazon" of Earth 2 to be Donna Troy, then we'd have a complete DCnU. Something tells me this'll be Daniel West tho and maybe his brother Wally could get involved.
